Hi everyone, I’m 26 and got out of a long relationship (6+ years) about two years ago. Since getting back into the dating world, I’ve been trying to figure out how things tend to evolve with age. Over these past two years I’ve dated a few girls, including some that I honestly considered a bit out of my league physically. That made me realize that maybe I’m more attractive than I used to think I was. Still, the whole dating situation stresses me out more than I’d like to admit. Finding someone is also one of the very few aspects of my life that I can’t really control. I’m not obsessively chasing it, but it’s still something that brings me a bit of anxiety from time to time. In fact, it’s probably the only area of my life that does. So I was curious to hear from guys who are a bit older. As you got closer to your 30s, did you feel like you gained more confidence and became more attractive to women? Did you notice getting more attention, or that dating became easier? And if that was the case, do you think it was mostly due to personal factors like confidence and maturity, or perhaps also because women in that age range tend to be more ready to settle down and approach dating differently? submitted by /u/TheModelBuilder
